Montreal

The Easter Triduum is almost upon us. As we approach the pinnacle of the liturgical year, find out more about local events taking place this Holy Week

Chrism Mass

Chrism Mass will be celebrated on April 17 at Mary Queen of the World Cathedral at 7:30 p.m. All the faithful are invited to this Mass that Archbishop Christian Lépine concelebrates with priests from all over the archdiocese, and during which he consecrates the holy chrism and blesses the other oils. This celebration, which is unlike any other, is considered one of the major expressions of the fullness of the bishop's priesthood and a sign of the strong unity between him and the priests.

Good Friday

Here are several Ways of the Cross taking place this Good Friday:

The members of Communion and Liberation are inviting you to join them for the Good Friday Way of the Cross. Beginning at Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel, 400 Saint Paul Street East, in Old Montreal (Champ-de-Mars station), the procession will wind through the streets of downtown Montreal and end at Mary Queen of the World Cathedral. Archbishop Christian Lépine will be leading this procession, which will be filled with prayer, meditation, and song. Departure at 9:30 am.

On Good Friday, for more than a decade, families and young people have been carrying the cross to Mount Royal, in the heart of Montreal, up to the great historic cross dating back to the days of Ville-Marie. Walking, singing, and meditating. The Way of the Cross will take place between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.. Participants are to rendezvous next to the Maison Smith (a greystone house) at 1260 Chemin Remembrance.
